    ANother flower that I cannot find in any of my reference books is this tall, skinny individual with a tiny 4-petal flower at the top. Any suggestions?

    Brassicaceae, the way the leaves are held should narrow it down if you do a search on the USDA PLANTS database for the state and the family.

    Could be Boechera stricta. Boecheras are better identifiable when in fruits, though.
